Little more than a block off of Winslow Way, Bainbridge Island's "main drag", the park is a short walk from the ferry, behind Town and Country (T&C) grocery. There's plenty of parking. However, during large community events much of this parking is converted to vendor boothes. The score reflects remodeling and construction underway to improve public boating access and rowing club facilities. However, an easy walk from our Saturday, Farmers' Market, the grocery store and most of the town's restaurants and shops, this park is still a great spot for a picnic.

I'm so glad I found No Worries and Captain Lorenzo. We really lucked out! Captain Lorenzo met us down in Port Orchard early in the morning. He was on time (or early, either way, he was there before us!) and had the boat ready to go when we arrived at the launch. He even met me at my car to help us unload our bags and show us the best parking spot. My parents and I brought snacks but No Worries Fishing Charters provided everything else - the license, the bait and tackle, even bottled drinking water. Captain Lorenzo and his first mate Noah helped us onto the boat and were patient as my mom climbed on with her bum knee. This small boat is ideal for 3-4 passengers plus two crew and a very personalized trip. This is not like some charters or party boats where there are hundreds of passengers. As we sailed out through Agate Pass, Captain Lorenzo pointed out some sites and explained what we were seeing. My parents loved getting a little tour of the area! Not to give away our super-secret fishing spot, but we ended up fishing near the Kingston area. Later, throughout the day we learned more about Captain as he kept us entertained and informed, telling us about how he grew up and spent his whole career on all different types of boats. My dad said that some fishing charter captains sit back and read a newspaper like "I got you here, you do the fishing." Not No Worries! Captain Lorenzo and Noah kept busy the whole time - reading the fish finder, checking the lines, cutting bait. They were working hard to make sure we had the best fishing experience. One cool thing is that you could definitely get as involved or take it easy however you want. For example, my dad had a lot of questions - what lure are you using, how does the downrigger work, what do you usually catch, how long have you been doing this... my mom was pretty happy to sit in the boat and wait for the Captain to say, "Looks like we got something! Do you want to come reel one in?" I thought it was awesome that Lorenzo and Noah catered to both - answering my dad's questions and matching his enthusiasm, and keeping my mom involved. We didn't catch a whole lot of keepers (I caught the biggest silver or coho, of course, not that it's a competition...) but we saw action all day and had a great day out on the water. Truly, the father-daughter bonding time is the highlight, right? Well, that and the salmon dinner. At the end of the fishing day, Captain cleaned and fileted our catch and bagged it for us, ready for our cooler and, later, our grill! It was nice that we didn't have to get our hands too dirty. Overall we had a great day and I would definitely recommend No Worries Fishing Charter to anyone looking to get on the water. My whole family was truly impressed! Thank you Captain Lorenzo for making our day so memorable!

It wasn't a successful fishing day for any of the boats in our area (Blake Island) but it wasn't for a lack of trying. We did catch plenty of rock cod which I still found exciting. We have booked private charters before, and both my husband and I were very impressed with how organized and committed our guide was. I was not great at keeping from snagging my line on the bottom and losing lures, but there was always a back up rod prepared and ready for the water while my previous rod was having a new lure tied on to it. The boat was clean and well organized, and I was relieved to learn there is a private toilet area in the front. Our kind guide was generous with his time offering to continue fishing after our six hour session was up because he genuinely felt bad that the fish weren't biting today. We are grateful to have made contact with this charter and will give it another try when salmon season begins.

Amped Adventure was the perfect outdoor activity for an afternoon with limited availability. We booked our ebikes a day before so they were ready to go as soon as we arrived.

Once you cross a single busy intersection, you're in serene lake territory. The team on site is helpful and will offer advice on trails, how-tos, etc. They also provide you with a lock and helmet, making it easy to explore local businesses along your route.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience has been with Peacock and I recommend it to anyone with a kid 1-5.

Peacock holds a special place in my heart!…read more My little one was in the toddler room for the last year. The teachers are patient, kind, and compassionate. I know children go through developmental leaps and bounds from age 1 to 2, but I think she especially thrived in that environment because they fostered her love of learning and independence. Healthy meals and snacks are provided daily, which was a huge time saver for me. They use an app to log meals, naps, diaper changes, and any important updates or special notes. Occasionally they would upload photos too, which was always a nice treat. My husband and I have full time jobs so we rely on daycare. I feel that the relationship LOs have with their teachers is a close 2nd to the relationship they have with their parents. They spend more active time with our children than we are able to! I completely trusted her in their care and loved seeing how happy she was to be there. We miss you, Peacock friends!!! Nice day! :)

The menu also had a lot of food items that looked interesting, but I didn't get any- something I'll try next time. It was fun picking my favorite color of golf ball. But I think that's common at most mini golf places. Just had to mention that it's a possibility here. The mini golf course has varied types of terrain, but there are no fun structures or obstacles, so it is a bit on the less exciting side. However, especially with drink in hand on a sunny day, I didn't really mind, and delighted in testing what little skills I have. My partner got a hole in one. Yay. No matter how hard I tried to keep up, I believe my best was a hole in three, or however you say it. I took photos of the menus and fees, but forgot to take photos of the course itself. Check this place out if you're in Interbay and need something to pass the time & have a little fun!
